Personally, I believe anyone should have the right publish what they've ridden. Consequently, if there are differences between the routes he's ridden and shared, one ought not to "blame" him for the differences. In defence of GPS Kevin, as far as I can tell, he's either ridden all of the routes he's published or published routes that are "free to share". Interesting that neither Sam or GPS Kevin has weighed in on a debate that's taken up more space than many ride reports. My final advice would be to do it soon, I might get inspired during the trip and start writing it myself during the nights camped by the fire. If you dowload his track and plan on investing $ (im up to about $2000 not counting the bike and gear I already had) and time to do the TAT, chances are you would fork over an extra $200 or so for the invaluable info the guide book would provide.

Hell, I would even give away the gps tracks for free in hopes that it would drum up good faith and new customers. A "customer's only" forum with discussions and other info could be cool as well. The guide book could aslo include historical or geographical insight and background to the trails and areas it traverses. Keep updating it on a yearly basis, printing new editions and have last minute updates online for things like washed out bridges or pissed off farmers with daughters. My advice to Sam would be, publish a printed large format guide book of the trail with a bunch of supproted insight and anecdotal original narrative and photographs using all original art and maps or properly licensed ones or public domain maps. The information itself is not defensible as IP but if he packages it in a cohesive, elegant way that makes the trip more enjoyable then it's value is undeniable. However, if Sam is merely providing a value added service by scouting, collecting and compiling routing and helpful information to accomplish the trip succesfully like routes, changing hazards, good places to eat, repair, camp, fuel etc, then this service has value.

If sam's maps are not original but drawn on maps made by someone else or bought at a store or downloaded from google or another mapping source then Sam is probably liable for violating the author's IP and could easily be sued for every penny he ever received plus a lot more. A gps track that follows them exactly, however, would not be considered an infringement on his IP.

The term Trans American Trail is not copyrighted in the US and this does not surprise me because it would never stand up to "previous art" challanges since the term has been around for similar uses for decades if not centuries.The fact that the paths are "public roads" has no bearing because neither of these providers (sam, kevin) are charging for their use.I would like to shed a little light on this discussion. In coming across this forum i have seen many understandable misscomceptions and half truths and theories.

I plan on doing the TAT this year and have been thinking about how to work out the paths for the trip. My partner and I spent 10 years developing Mex2Can as an investment so we insist that our customers protect us and return Roll Charts every day and do not keep the GPS Tracks to try to keep it off the Internet for people with no morals to poach. I never post any tracks the replicate any other commercial endever. I have spent thousands of $ doing this and post them all for free on because I love the sport. I am now updating with new hi resolution tracks for the PCQ originally done by R-Dubb on Adv. After a request on Adv for GWT tracks, I spent 5 weeks or so over three years to record it. I developed an alternate CDR route across New Mexico. In comparison can you believe some business offering their GPS for free?Īs to the cost of development of long point to point route, I know a little. I would guess his sales price is very reasonable and you may notice that NO OTHER RIDER has decided to go into his business. After deducting his recurring cost for material and shipping, how many does he need to sell to recover his development cost which goes on year after year and thing change in the field. They measure sales of GPS units in hundreds of thousands of units, Sam measures his sales in units. Click to expand.Very true and good point.
